Ramachandran is the neuro-anatomist who successfully amputated a non-existent arm by using nothing more than a $2 cardboard box and a vertical mirror. I’ve written about him previously here. Not only is he wonderfully inventive, he is a harbinger for a new breed of scientist which gives me hope of a path forward to validate Alexander's discovery.

Mastery Emerges From the Details

Do you know what a CTA is?

How about a USP? or the why biz consultants say “The riches are in the niches”? Have you heard the Prince of Print’s story about the hungry crowd?

I’d wager that 80% of those biz owners – whose businesses have lasted longer than 5 years, have seen growth of 20% or greater, and are heading for another stellar year – could easily answer my questions.

Can you?

In January 2016 I am coming to London with a team of teachers to answer the question this blog is posing. We've even set up a free online course at this link to warm you up! I also endeavour to answer this question below...

Alexander’s discoveries are my passion; they have been my life and work since the age of 20, and I intend to be living and teaching them up to my last breath.

This is the text of a letter I wrote recently to a friend who wondered why I seem to actively offend so many people in the AT world with my position on Tablework. This is what I wrote back...

Dear Friend (who shall remain anonymous),

The tablework/constructive rest thing is an important component of my whole sales and marketing thrust - the idea is to do what the students wants, not what you prescribe.

Anyone could copy what I have done in Japan. Why doesn't anyone do that?

Because it is too dam hard. Right now, I am planning on building a new biz in Japan and I constantly go into overwhelm: How will I do it? Who do I ask for help? How do I convince people about my idea? These are all questions that seek answers, and while in the midst of asking these questions, I easily become emotionally frightened and panicked.

Those who follow my blogs (sorry I write so many) will undoubtedly know that I compare Alexander's Discovery - in it's potentiality for revolutionary change - on par with the internet.

I am sure there are readers out there who believe I am bonkers. And they could be right. History will be the judge of that. Occasionally I do worry about that my Self…

Indeed, I suffer from delusional optimism. I think it's a trade secret of all entrepreneurs. Without it, we would give up. So let me enjoy a little of my optimism right now…

As CEO of BodyChance, when I employed my first full-time staff - at a real, support-your-family salary - our negotiations finally got around to the starting date…

"April 1st"

At the time, I was ready to go NOW. It was only November:

"April 1st. Huh?"

That's Japan for you.

I have been struck recently by the lucky Yoga niche connections Cecile has been documenting for us in ATSuccess Village. Angela, on our Pro Skype sessions, has been experiencing the same thing in her niche in the UK. People contacting them both with work requests - wonderful.

I am asking - are they lucky?

I know you don't know me.

That's a comfort. Nothing you say can hurt me, yet I am still curious. Curiosity is the saviour of arrogance. Do I know? Well, let's hear your opinion and there's no risk in that, no pain. Just wonder, and my opportunity to grow.

I've been asking a lot of questions about BodyChance these days: how about your practise, your biz? I am discovering questions open doors, so start with the big one.

Start with your why. What motivates you to be in this profession?

I have been through many whys.
